  • Street Shopping

Sabah and its surrounding regions is famous for handicrafts and souvenirs made by local tribes. There are a few markets and shopping streets in Sabah that present the products made by the indigenous groups. One of them is the Tamu Market which takes place on Sunday. Here you can buy stuff like betel nut stalls, exotic fruits, vegetables, dried and fresh fish, sarongs, etc. In the capital city of Kota Kinabalu, Gaya Street is the most famous for street shopping. Every Sunday, the street is closed for traffic as a trade fair is held here to sell products like traditional fabrics, antiques, souvenirs, fruits, flowers, arts and craft, footwear, and herbs.
